Intel Management Engine (ME/IME)

January 7, 2019

I should have posted this earlier because the source dated from November 22 2018.

Also Intel® Server Platform Services (SPS), and Intel® Trusted Execution Engine (TXE).

You can download a detection tool from this page: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000025619/software.html

The above page also list firmware for different OEM’s.

original sources for finding this are:
